Not the best picture ever, but you get the gist of it. So this is my 5th tattoo, my Audrey II quarter sleeve. I was the kid behind the puppet when my high school put on Little Shop of Horrors almost 6 years ago, and it was one of those things that stuck with me. It was kind of a coming-of-age experience, and it began the slow progress I have made over the past several years from a self-conscious, angry kid into a confident, comparatively well-adjusted adult. That and, one of my closest friends, who I met during rehearsals for this musical, drew up the original sketch. Also, for the sake of having a gnarly horror/comedy themed piece. The banner says, “The meek shall inherit”- a line from one of the numbers and also a reminder to make ballsy decisions, lest I should end up like Seymour. All work done in one 4-hour sitting with Matt at Revolution tattoo/body modification, in West Lafayette, IN. I gave him a really rough sketch and an idea and he whipped up this little beauty and delivered expertly.
